On 11 January 2026 BBC News reported: An elusive bird which is now considered to be extremely rare in Northern Ireland made an unexpected visit to a Belfast street, where it was found behind a bin. Office staff who spotted it on the Lisburn Road thought it might be a bird of prey and called wildlife rescuer Debbie Nelson, who works under the name Debbie Doolittle. The nightjar was discovered in September, but Doolittle waited until the new year to share the footage, describing it as her 'most special' rescue of 2025. Global Good News service views this news as a sign of rising positivity in the field of science, documenting the growth of life-supporting, evolutionary trends.

She was surprised to find it was in fact a nightjar -- a bird she described as 'almost extinct' in Northern Ireland, with only a handful of sightings since the 1950s.

...Nightjars were once a more common sight and sound on the island of Ireland, according to Birdwatch Ireland's Conservation Officer, John Lusby.

He points out their distinctive call used to be so well-known that Irish speakers named the bird tuirne lin, which means spinning wheel.
